how eurasian is he? i thought he just had some american indian in him or something...

also the car with the rear end you dont like isnt for sale anymore, mentioned that in my post with all the links to ads..also mentioned that i cant find the red one in VIC with the TE37's so i assume thats gone too.

yeah was kind of kidding with the stripey soft top but lol, worth a shot.

who moved the thread? not much chance of people in other states being able to help out if they dont see the thread but no biggie, its probably worth waiting till something decent and local comes up. So far the 09 gun metal is the best contender..certainly not enough V36 Skylines around in the right spec either. WTF NSW?

From the carsales list that you gave these two that i think it might work (fingers crossed) as the rest are either soft top (which i don't like) OR the price range is way too high that i can't see how i will be able to put it down to where i want.

Anyone who might be keen to check out with me..let me know..i'll work time out with owner/dealer.

goodluck

Thank AsM .... it's not what I really looking for....

And yes the one in QLD looks great ...wandering if anyone can go to have a look for me..the unknown hurry to sell doesn't really smell good to me...but i'm thinking from the woman way...so...

i suppose you could get the QLD equivalent of the NRMA to do one of those inspection thingies they do for a few hundred bucks.

I just asked on facebook the one dude i know in brisbane and he has seen it around, was very impressed. Its too far (90mins) from brisvegas for him to go out and see the guy though.

will post in QLD section and see if we get any bites

nah she doesnt like V35's

36 for the win!

also this one in QLD

^^^ Worth a look > inspection

Also with similar Kms...

I talked with an importer this morning and he said that he couldn't find one around with complete log/history at this time.

I'm going to Brisbane on Friday, already have a chat with the car guy there. He will bring this silver 370z for me to have a look.

http://www.carsales....94%20900%201216

Wish me a best of luck as i'm really hoping that Friday will be my lucky day.... and I will worry about bring it back later :)

And Terry ...this one is NICE too http://www.carsales....e-2007-12785510

I'll see if its possible for me to check it out when i'll be back to Syd...

Hopefully my jetting around country for work will slow down soon ..fingers crossed

oh and hey

can any of you SAU people sort out a character whose commenting on wittyjanes facebook shots of her next car?

he is trying to disuade her from buying it for reasons unfathomable..im also not sure his science on exhausts is legit, is basically saying that exhausts are pointless as a performance mod unless your at high revs all the time.

tried a direct link to 'le stalkbook' but it didnt work, just curious how close to the mark he is.

heres a shot of the car she saw with scuff marks evident, anyone know how much it would cost to buff this out?

Hi Jane, it's Fernando from the last meet. How'd you go with the brisbane car?

Hi Fernando, :D

Most ppl I showed the photos of the car to, told me not to get it tho the price is exceptable but due to kilometres (70000km) and the engine has been modified and they reckon it has been trashed..and from talking to the owner himself i wouldn't be surprised and he is the kinda the rich guy who just got new toy, played with it to the max and doesn't care so much about money that he might lose and the reason that he is selling is because his new 2012 GTR coming (new toy for him)...and also a couple scratches around the car as well tho the owner offered to fix it. And so many ppl reckon that the 20inch rims and tyres are bad for the car...

Buy a brand new Toyota 86 for $35k, pocket $10K of budget and spend on shoes, win?

I'm actually waiting to see the BRZ from Subaru. My friend who is exec sales at Subaru promises to bring the car home (as we live next door) for test drive and a bit of rev (if will need lol)....

your talking about that guy on facebook? pffft, i dont know. Most sporty cars have been driven hard and if they cant put up with a little high revving action now and then they shouldnt be on your shopping list. The 370 (not a 270 or 360 like your friend called it ;) ) is renowned for its reliablity and im sure even one with a few km's under it will last at least the six or so years you plan on having it if not longer.

Would def get him to get the scratches fixed up but other than that it seems like a fine car for the money and the rims are easy enough to replace, if your planning on tracking it you should keep the ones it has and have a separate set for the track anyway!

anyway keep us posted on the BRZ drive, i know where your heart lies though!

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
